For the ninth time, the conference invites researchers and entrepreneurs from North Rhine-Westphalia and regions in Europe to find new European research and innovation (R&I) partners for Horizon 2020 projects.

The series of events has been a great success with over 2300 participants since 2009.

In 2018, special partner regions are: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Israel, the Netherlands and Poland. The event is, however, of course open to participants from all other countries!

There will be an exhibition “Innovations for Europe based in North Rhine-Westphalia” on 15 March 2018.

The networking event will be structured in parallel workshops focussing on seven topics:

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

Nanotechnology, Materials and Manufacturing (NMM)

Energy

Sustainable Economy

Life Sciences

Transport

The event addresses especially universities and research institutes and small as well as medium-sized enterprises. Participants are invited to become involved in established and new technology networks between researchers, entrepreneurs and multipliers related to Horizon 2020. Giving a short presentation (ideas and/or results) or finding a partner by talking to decision-makers opens doors for new research and innovation projects in Europe with a focus on Horizon 2020.

The Call for presentations (ideas and/or results) is open until 20 February 2018.
